Semi-Restore iOS 9.0.2 / 9.1 For Mac OS X Released [Download]

Great news for the jailbreak lovers. The popular Semi-Restore utility that was previously only available for Windows and Linux machines is now available for Mac OS X users as well. New releases and innovations may not be as frequent as they once were within the iOS jailbreak world, but that doesn’t mean that hard-working developers aren’t still chipping away behind the scenes to not only produce new software, but to also update existing offering and bring additional compatibility.

Developer CoolStar has officially released Semi-Restore for OS X on a ‘works-for-me’ basis. The release is great news for those jailbreak fans who have either used Semi-Restore previously on a Windows or Linux machine and love what it offers, or those who have been waiting patiently to get to grips with the utility, but who own an Apple Mac, which was a previously unsupported platform for the tool.

The developer has not only officially announced the availability of Semi-Restore for OS X, but has also issued an accompany “no support” warning, meaning that it has been tested on two Hackintosh machines, and that he won’t offer support if it doesn’t work as intended.

For those that may not be in the know, or who may be new to the jailbreak world, Semi-Restore has proven to be a very handy little tool over the last three years for jailbroken users who want to restore firmware on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch without actually losing those jailbreak privileges.

The power of Semi-Restore really comes from its ability to allow users to restore back to a clean version of iOS that will remove any previously installed tweaks or extensions that could have been causing problems. If you get a little download happy from Cydia, and find yourself with a slow or laggy device that’s crashing and hanging due to a bad extension or tweak, Semi-Restore allows you to start again with a clean, but still jailbroken, version of the currently installed firmware.

The OS X version is available to download right now from semi-restore.com. Make sure you turn off Gatekeeper on your Mac before running the tool.

Semi restore has doomed the iOS 10 launch. Now liberates will have a reliable method of being held on to there liberated devices.

Get a life you terrorist scum

Sachin

You are dying supporting a terrorist company and abusing the truthful people like me.

Skilla

Haha, Apple a terrorist company!? Even if that wildly bizarre claim was true.. You own an iPhone don’t you!? Dumb fuck!

tommyt

your smirking face makes me throw up in my mouth.

Sachin

Yeah but I don’t support it . It’s different you know.

Cesar Orozco

That’s how stupid you are. By buying a product you are supporting it. Simple

Sachin

Support is nothing to correlate for what we buy. Support is blind like you lick the fucking ass of the crook. Buying is over and above it. As I buy iPhone I buy Apple as my very servant to provide me with the support and warranties. I am not supporting it . It is Apple that is supporting me. Hope fully it clears in your fucking mind.
